Guhong V1 vs Guhong V2, is V2 worth the extra cash?

[v0lt3r]

Well i was thinking in try the famous dayan guhong, its amazon for $7 the V1 and $10 the V2, shipping incluided. That 30% more price. I was thinking, is really worth the difference? I saw many reviews, i know the only real difference is the torpedos but many people say that is not just about pop less, is about that feels really different, aparently the torpedos makes a diferent feel that its an improvement over the V1. I know everyone will have their opinions but.. i want to know the major opinion. Vote please (And if you can arge why!)

PD: don't tell me "try aolong/weilong/zanchi/ etc.." i already have them in my collection. Yes im a phreak speedcuber, stores will make our wallets thin, so what !!. Im just curious about guhong

Please, don't vote just because you like one of them, vote if you have tried both or you have solid reasons. thank you.

The GuHong v2 is better, though its hard to say why. It does pop less and feel better. And by the way, 30℅ sounds like a lot more than $3.

In a way, its like comparing the Aolongs. To me, the first was great, fantastic. But as we all know it has a problem: corner twisting. The Guhong has a pop/explosion issue. But had a great feel, which many made their mains even after the Zhanchi was introduced. Back to the Aolongs, the V2 is great, fixed all the problems, while giving it just a little bit of a different feel. The pieces haven't changed much, but there is just something there that makes you go "oh yeah, that's my main now" Same thing with the Guhong V2, only difference is the torpedoes, but it just makes it feel, well, with no other words to say: Amazing (yes, with a capital A). To this day, I can solve my Guhong v2 and want to make it my main, and I think that some will have the same feelings as I do. The Guhong V2 is not only worth the 3 extra dollars, but worth the insane amount of new Moyu cubes (roughly $15). Hope this helps!

The v2 is certainly worth it. The v1 pops more, and feels blockier. The v2 is more stable and comes with torps, so it can handle corner-cutting better.

I believe they rounded off quite a few edges throughout the cube for the v2. If you're still stuck, check out youtube. I'm sure there are tons of reviews that compare the two.

My experience is that guhongs need a greater amounts of lube to perform at their optimal level compared to the zanchis or any of the modern day cubes.
